Tower Hamlets

Mission

Mission without borders

2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Tower Hamlets.

On an already warm Saturday morning two 'runners' made their way to the Isle of Dogs to help Mrs K sorting out some borders around the grass. Mowing was originally also on the cards, but someone beat the Goodgym team to it!

Where Peter cheating slightly by taking the tube/DLR (citing last nights 5k as excuse), Anna did run to the task, improvising around the different building sites blocking her planned route. Mrs K clearly does enjoy her gardening and still keeps on top of her pots & plants, but needed a little hand with hammering the new borders into the ground, which we were happy to do. With the lawn already mowed, there wasn't much more to do, with Mrs K adamant she could handle anything else, so we made our way back out into the heat to find our way home, job done!
